This is a very complicated subject. Europe is definitely in a difficult time at the moment. Like most things, the truth is not on the right or left, but somewhere in the middle. There is so much propaganda floating around right now, sometimes it is difficult to identify critically.

I know it's cheesy to quote from seven pages back, but I couldn't let this pass.
Quote:
Norway has never even had a terrorist attack commited by a muslim. The 22nd of July attacks were committed by a white islamophobe. Away from Europe for a second - innit funny how islamophobia has been steadily on the rise since 9/11, and just seems to be getting worse in all of the West? President Bush launched the War on Terror, then invaded Iraq two years later. Since then, the US, in cooperation with NATO, has ruined Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria. Funny how the "War on Terror" has used islamophobia to legitimize war against muslim countries

There have been Muslims in Europe for something like one and a half thousand years, so in addition to the complex moral issues and statistics of the situation today, there is a long, long back story too. Being unsure or ambivalent about your position is a very sane response imo, although to judge from the posts here, most people have formed an adamant opinion before joining the thread. Perhaps that's why this "debate" has degenerated into slinging mud and statistics at each other.

I guess Chula thinks "Muslim" is a race.
Not to mention nobody said "Muslim = Terrorist" So what we have is someone too ignorant to build a straw man.

A post the other day literally said 'I hate religion', but nobody felt the need to say 'there are 5.2bn* followers of religion' or 'so you are saying every religious person does x, y and z', or 'here, look what atheists have done'. But say you hate Islam or even criticise Islam and they will respond with those arguments, as if you are smearing every single Muslim person People who mean well, but are arguing against things that weren't posted. I think Ben Affleck might have stole Chula's log in. *or however many it is ffs |

Don't want to quote all of rostasi's post, but just want to say well argued and written, as ever. As was the post by riseagainstrocks. However...

He's been challenged on 'his' claims by Pet Sounds and we await a reply. Whether you agree with his view or not, Goofle actually attempted to back what he's saying up with a list of terror attacks in 2017 (not going to argue about whether things are missing). Quote:
